peter happel christian

peter happel christian's 'black holes + blind spots' project. as he describes it: "inspired by the ideas of american transcendentalism, i photograph non-descript situations that make me pause and consider the varied relationships people have with the natural world. i wonder if it is possible to have a transcendental experience in a residential landscape with my camera, far from the ideal, traditional places of the sublime. black spots are digitally applied to each image to characterize how i am compelled to photograph such situations, pulled in to the subject matter like the gravity of a black hole. conversely, the black spots partially disguise each image, disrupting the viewer’s field of vision and negating the photograph’s function as an effective communication tool." see more here.

brea souders

great new work by brea souders.

there's something very attractive about the colors and the smooth lines of the surfaces, which seem to transform the subjects of the photographs into symbols.

recently, brea has been working on this project during a residency in france. she says the work explores: "living as a foreigner in a place where I have deep ancestry. The images created
here have taken a looser and more dream-like turn, reflecting the feeling of becoming untethered and the desire to fit in but also not fit in."

intersections: photogrammatic

these images by rebecca najdowski and gregory kaplowitz are very iheartphotogram.
i like how gregory kaplowitz's look kind of like outer space phenomena.

let's start off the week with sarah palmer's project "as a real house."
sarah says she explores memory and the photograph to understand "how time is trapped inside, like a fossil in rock."
